DESCRIPTION:This course will provide the students with a solid understandi
 ng of theoretical\, mathematical aspects and algorithms related to game th
 eory\, graph theory and social dynamics on networks for modelling the evol
 utionary dynamics of behaviours in real-world complex networks. The first 
 lecture\naims at introducing game theory and its basic notions\, from the 
 elements of a game\, the normal form representation\, the payoff matrix\, 
 and the concept\nof Nash Equilibrium. The second lecture deals with social
  dilemmas\, evolutionary game theory and the rules for the evolution of co
 operation.\nThe third lecture describes the fundamental concepts\, princip
 les and\nmethods of graph theory\, network topologies\, social networks an
 d complex\nnetworks in the interdisciplinary field of network science. The
  fourth\nlecture focuses on dynamic processes on networks\, including soci
 al dynamics\nand epidemic spreading on multilayer networks.
